Welcome to the Modern Age! The Strokes designed their 2001 debut album Is This It to be like a band from the past making an album in the future. Will its live sound and raw energy land its score among the greats? We'll go back to When It Started and learn how the band changed the conversation around post-punk and alternative music with hits like Last Nite and Someday! The Mixtaper will teach us how to keep track of our drummers and we'll discover several regions of 'wegians as we look to make diamonds in the rough.
